Hello again, all!
Each day continues to be an adventure here in the Thriving Minds after-school program at Mills, and we’ve all been busy. Our third, fourth and fifth graders have been working on some excellent creative writing; they have great imaginations when they are inspired by an idea. Kindergarten, first and second graders have been doing fun arts and crafts, including some very cool bird masks and funky mirrors with frames. They’ve also been making a respect journal and discussing how important respect is in all of our lives.
We have all, staff and students, been hard at work on our Black History Month performance which took place on February 26. Our students put on a fabulous show for their families, friends and teachers highlighting the important contributions that African Americans have made, and continue to make, in the shaping of our country. The children performed African songs and dances, and portrayed famous African Americans such as Harriet Tubman and Thurgood Marshall; the girls also did a beautiful praise dance. Their parents were so very proud of them and so was I - the children were just beaming with pride! I asked some of them what the best part of the performance was for them. Most answered, “My mom said I did good,” and “I saw my daddy clapping…”
Enough said!
Stay tuned for pictures from the Black History Month celebration tomorrow on Photo Friday.
Until next time,
